"We lived together... so happily". THE FRIENDSHIP OF MARIA VASILIEVNA YAKUNCHIKOVA, NETTA PEACOCK AND YELENA DMITRIEVNA POLENOVA

#3 2020 (68)

Until about a decade ago, very little was known about Netta Peacock (1864-1938), an English art writer who became involved in Russian art circles at the fin de siecle. Her close friendships with the artists Maria Vasilievna Yakunchikova and Yelena Dmitrievna Polenova in the 1890s led her to begin a campaign to promote knowledge of Russian art and design in western Europe.
